Networking & Security

Hello, I am quite new to these stuffs. I check mails directly through their portals I donít want to visit them again and again because itís quite annoying if you are working on something and then in between you have to open browser and have visit that site. So guys can you help me out what I need is an incoming mail server i.e POP3 or IMAP and an outgoing e-mail server i.e STMP for my Gmail account, Because I donít know where to find the solution for this so I have posted it here, Thanks in advance.

The given steps for to setup Gmail account with MS outlook are perfect but I would to tell recommend IMAP client settings by which you will be safe or your privacy will be maintained on server. For Outlook express On the send tab in tools> Options, no need to not check Save copy of sent messages in the "Sent Items" folder. And check ísend messages immediatelyí. For Outlook 2003, In Email options settings reached by selecting tools and then click on Options and then on Preferences. And do not check ĎSave copies of messages in Sent Items folderí.

3- And there select any one of these Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
4- And then select what to do with your messages after POP receives them and save settings.

Now, Open Outlook express
1. Click on the Tools menu, and from there select Accounts.
2. Now click Add, and then click on Mail.
3. Now you have to enter your name in the Display name: and then click Next.
4. Enter your full Gmail email address in the Email address: and then click on Next. Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format 'username@your_domain.com.'
5. Enter pop.gmail.com in the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server: field. Enter smtp.gmail.com in the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: field. Google Apps users, enter the server names provided; don't add your domain name in this step. And now click on next.

8.Now fill the required information
> Check the box next to This server requires a secure connection (SSL) under Outgoing Mail (SMTP).
> Enter 465 in the Outgoing mail (SMTP): field.
